Thank you for you reply, Yes there were two versions of squid which is very odd since there were no versions on it before I compiled it, because I have checked it. I managed to remove the 2.6 now via yum remove command, but now I dont really know how to start squid 3.2. The service squid start does not work as service squid status does not exist. I've tried by starting squid in the /usr/local/squid/sbin/ folder: [root@vm1 squid-3.2.0.4]# /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid status WARNING: Cannot write log file: /usr/local/squid/var/logs/cache.log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/cache.log: Permission denied messages will be sent to 'stderr'. But i get the message above. Do you know what that means? Am i trying to run squid as the wrong user ( root ) ? Thank you, Michelle D.
